Remember Sharon? She was going to a Bizarre Ball, and we tested a makeup look for her a few weeks ago. Well, the ball was on Saturday, and we redid the makeup for it. Taking into account what we did last time, I didn’t take the black as far up the browbone this time, and gave it a more pronounced winged shape at the edges. […]
I love doing makeovers, I love seeing the transformation you can make in someone’s deportment and demeanour just by giving them a little colour, even with a relatively simple transformation like this week’s: Meet Sarah: Sarah’s gorgeous. I love her cheeky freckles, and she has beautiful grey-blue eyes. Talking to Sarah before her makeover, she wanted a quick, simple, easy, and above all GLAM look […]
It’s Sunday, so that means only one thing here at Get Lippie HQ, it’s makeover day! I love makeover days, the anticipation (and worry) about what kind of look I’m going to give my wonderful volunteer, and the satisfaction when my model disappears afterward looking pleased and happy with the results gives my heart a little lift. I ask all my lovely volunteers to bring […]
We created a soft and professional look for Sharon earlier but as we mentioned, she also wanted a very dramatic look for a “Bizarre Ball” she’s going to in a few weeks.

We’re going to do the makeover in two parts today – you’ll see why when part two is posted later … Meet Sharon: Sharon is another friend of mine who has volunteered for a makeover. Whilst chatting about how she’d like to look, she had two requests, firstly, she wanted a nice, simple, polished look suitable for interviews and everyday wear. The second we’ll talk […]
Meet Jane: Jane is a good friend of mine, and she’s kindly agreed to be my first model in my makeover series. Jane’s 47, works in a University, and has amazing bone structure. Ordinarily, Jane doesn’t wear much make-up beyond a touch of mascara and some Vaseline on her lips, and today we are going to create a glamorous and sophisticated evening look. The first […]
This is the first of what I’m hoping is going to be a regular series from now on. Every week or so, I’ll find a willing victi … er … volunteer, and invite them to the Get Lippie HQ, for a beauty consultation and make over. As the sessions won’t be beginning for a few days, I hope you’ll forgive me for using an oldie […]
